Cozy and Quiet

The view was lovely and the cabin was clean and cozy. Equipped with everything we could have needed. Neighborhood was quiet. We were lucky none of the other cabins were rented. Relaxing getaway.

Weekend Getaway

This was a perfect place for my husband and I to get away for a few days. It was right across the road from the lake which was perfectly fine with us because it kept the bugs away. We could easily cross the road and enjoy sunrises and sunsets just the same. The space was perfect just for us and it was so quiet and peaceful during the night. Every time I reached out to the owner, they were very quick to respond. The little town it is located in was also really fun to explore and very accommodating for some meals. If you are thinking about some time spent in the cedars, this would be a great place to stay. I know we will be back.
